Ruby Falls |
I take flight on borrowed time |
I was once terrified of heights |
I say a prayer, I look down and I’m ready to die |
If you cross over tonight |
You see beyond the darkest sky |
You taste the blood as something wild and alive |
You might light up in a flash |
You won’t hold onto a flame |
It’s a squalid way to live |
But it’s the rules of the game |
It ain’t your fault, it’s just a shame |
To fall without aim |
I walk down East 7th street |
A wistful, wild depravity |
Iconoclastic, black and white, dusty and sweet |
I tell this story every time |
Real love don’t follow a straight line |
It breaks your neck, it builds you a delicate shrine |
You might mourn all that you wasted |
That’s just part of the haul |
Tangling up all your good fortune |
Bearing the heart of the fall |
You won’t break it after all |
Look at us, man and bride and a grinding sound |
Faithful to a life underground |
And when the picture fades the years will make us calm |
I’ll sing a song at your funeral |
Laid in the Mississippi gulf |
Or back home at Waxahatchee Creek |
You know you got a friend in me |
I’m an angler married to the sea |
